2011 has been an incredible year so far! Did you know that during the White Flag series, 62 people made a decision to stop running from God and submit their lives to Him? Incredible! White Flag wraps up in Orillia this weekend, and in Barrie, we start a brand new series called Three Letter Word.

I can’t get this picture out of my mind. It’s one of our theaters, emptied out after our e-teams cleared the last of our gear out one Sunday morning. Hundreds of empty chairs. Sure, the chairs fill up with people at our services, but we always want there to be empty chairs at each of
